Play Food - Condiments & Spices Set
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

What makes this product special
Have conversations about what happens to food inside the body, where our food comes from, and when we usually eat it. This is great for your child’s vocabulary and knowledge. Play food is fantastic for imaginative play, which inspires your child to copy real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or going to a café.
Role playing allows children copy everyday tasks and activities, which supports their understanding of the world they live in. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise making special offers, writing signs, and politely greeting customers. Your child can practise taking payments and giving back change, which is great for practising their math skills.
This activity supports essential skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Ideal for group role play, where children practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game.
- Strengthen your child's understanding of language through play.
